Three years ago, a receiver with hands of stone was drafted by a coach with a head of meat.
As it turns out, they'll be reunited soon.
Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that the Vikings have reached an agreement in principle to trade receiver Troy Williamson to the Jags for a second-day pick in the draft.
"Second-day" used to mean rounds four through seven. Now, round three is included. Our guess is that the Vikings will get a fifth-round pick that can upgrade to a fourth-round selection.
The deal can't be done until 12:00 a.m. EST on February 29.
Williamson was the seventh overall pick in the 2005 draft, and he was supposed to make folks in Minnesota forget about Randy Moss.
It didn't happen. In 2007, Williamson caught 18 passes. Moss caught 23 touchdown passes.
The Vikings' coach at the time of Williamson's arrival was Mike Tice. After the 2005 season, Tice was fired in Minnesota, and thereafter hired by the Jaguars as an assistant.
In Jacksonville, Williams should feel right at home. None of the team's other receivers can catch, either
